Dear Friends,
If you subscribe to the belief that there are no mistakes, that absolutely everything happens for your own awakening, then even this most recent disaster, hurricane Sandy, offers us an opportunity to see things from a different perspective.
Perhaps because we're forced to slow down from our normally fast-paced lives, we have an opportunity to chat with a neighbor about how they're doing or how they're faring post storm.
For those of us who lost power, and may still be without, we can regain a deep appreciation for things that we may normally take for granted: the convenience of flicking on a light switch, opening up the refrigerator for a snack, plugging in and charging our electronics and phones, or pulling into a gas station to fill up in a matter of minutes to be on our way.
If nothing else, we're asked to cultivate one of the highest virtues:
Patience.
Take this time to slow down, and if possible, rather than fight or resist the reality of this temporary time, embrace it. The only real cause of suffering is not being able to ACCEPT WHAT IS. As difficult as this is to sometimes, it opens the gateway to the virtue that lies on the other side of patience:
Faith.
Because of the storm, putting the finishing touches to get Garden State Yoga ready for opening has been delayed another week. New opening date will be Saturday, November 10th.
Hope to see you soon,
Ben

HARMONIUM LESSONS
I offer my lifetime of experience in musical practice and performance to help you efficiently learn to accompany yourself on this sacred instrument in order to chant for yoga class, for kirtan, or just for your own enjoyment. This is perfect for those just beginning to learn to play the harmonium as well as for those interested in developing their prowess on the instrument.
